Watch the Bearings and Attend to Oiling: Clover the Plow's Bright Parts With Thick Oil or Grease— How to Tell the Bushels of 'Grain In a Bin—"Holding Up" Milk. ;Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The seed drill shows the result of neglect in a way so impressively as to deter the owner or operator from abusing this machine to the same ex- tent as he may practice with the plow or harrow. A warped seed box, or rusty and clogged grain rune, leave tell tale evidence over the field that even makesthe ueglectfulman repent. With many moving parts, the drill requires frequent careful oiling, Disc and double disc drills have many more moving 'parts than . the shoe or hoe type of drill, and with the disc bearings subjected to dust and sand, considerable trouble will develop if there is any ueglect to keep the bear- ings properly adjusted and oiled. When once the bearings become worn, it is impossible for the disc to function properly and renewal of the parts that have become worn is the only remedy if the drill is to give best service. All bearings should re- ceive attention and bekeptsmooth and free from grit. This is best done by a frequent application of light min- eral oil. The grain drill bearings are not the easiest to get at; a long flexi- ble stem oil can is generally the most useful type of oiler. Keep the Oil Can Constantly at Hand. An oil can should always be with the seed drill. The large wheels turn- ing slowly may not need oiling more than once each half day, but the discs may turn 15,000 times in a day under considerable vressure, hence the need of frequent oiling. The seed box mechanism turning slowly can gener- ally be well served by oiling twice a day. The grain drill should not be exposed to the weather when not in use. A canvas cover sufficiently large to fully protect the grain box should go with this machine for use over night or idle periods if it is not de- sired to move the drill back to its proper storage in the implement shed until the close of the seeding season. The matter of keeping bolts tight and everything in adjustment is just as important with this machine ,as with any other. If the drill gets proper care, it will last the lifetim'e of the operator, and the original cost of paint will carry it througn. When the plow is not in use its bright surfaces should be protected by a layer of thick mineral oil or grease. Heavy machine oil or good axle grease rubbed over the mould board, share, coulter and jointer point will save a plow from the rav- ages of rust. The rusting of one win- ter period may injure a plow more than a long season's service in the field. Rusty plows lose a lot of time for man and team in the spring, through delay caused by halts to clear and scrape a mould board that will not scour. All braces and bolts should be kept tight, the points of share, coulter and skimmer sharp and of proper shape. The plow wheel and axle should be kept well lubri- cated and packed in such a way as will prevent sand reaching the wear- ing surface of wheel hub or axle. The small wheel of a plow will turn 40,000 times in a day plowing two acres. If the wheel is to last and do geed ser vice, the axle should get a Little heavy oil every hour. An oil can holder should be attached to tvely plow, so that the oil supply will always be at hand and screeching preveeted by its timely use. Watch the Plow Point. if the plow point becomes worn the inclination of -the mouldboard is clraneed; the plow tends to run on the point, the work becomes 'heavier on both the horses and the plowman, and poorer work is done. The heel of tle share wears nearly as quickly as does the polut. With the dulling of the heel the plow will wing over to the land and require more exertion on the part of both man and team. Keep the plowshare sharp and in pro- per form. A coat of paint applied to the handles, beam and all ether parts that do .not come in direct contact with the oil will do much to keep up appearances and prevent weathering. —L. Stevenson, Sec., Dept. of Agri- culture. Bushels of Grain in Bins. To compute the `nutaber of bushels in bins multiply the length by width and depth,and divide the number ob- tained by 1'4,. This gives the :num- ber of bushels. If figuring on ear corn, divide by 21/2. instead of 1 ,i, as for small grain or shelled corn. A common farm waggon box, 10 feet long and 3 feet wide, will hold about 2 bushels of grain for every inch in depth, that is, a box 18 inches deep will hold approximately` 36 bushels. WhenCow "Holds .Uv" Milk.. Tnesuppression of secretion of milk is thereflex result' of irritation of the nervous system.. Shock, chill, fright, pain, rough milking, sensitive teats, weaning of a calf, etc., are some of the causes. .If possible have the cow milked by awoman. Try the effects of placing a young calf at her head before starting to milk. Massage the udder gently for a few minutes before milking.. If the teats are ten- der applysome melted' lard each even- ing. An :old-fashioned ,treatment is, to lay a sack of grain on the cow's loins at milking timet This is expect•' ed to detract her • attention so that she will "let down her milk." We cannot vouch for the efficiency of ails, plan as we have not tried it in prat ' tice, In stubborn cases it is hest to let a calf nurse.

In the passing of Charles Clarke at his Toronto home, the Canadian Pacific lost one of its oldest 'locomotive engineers. In the pioneer days of Canadian railroads, the late Mr. Clarke used to drive an old wood -burning .engine known as a double -ender, and the engine on which he made his first run asfe4neer on the Canadian Pacific is shown above. He was bowl in England 76 years ago and railroading at the age of eighteen with the old Midland line, joining the company from whose service he was retired about twelve years after. Alone From Uscilug to Milwaukee Via Canada ALGERIA Oepeeo TLMI, R F R 1 C R Eleven -year-old Polish Boy TRAVELLING noes not tire or trouble this little fel- low. Though he does not speak any English other than two or three words which he picked up en -route, he travelled alone from his home at Uscilug on the Russia -Austrian boundary to Milwaukee, burdened only with a small valise and a sheaf of tickets and immigra- tion documents. Kecth Herz is his name. Orphaned by his mother's death three years ago, he was going to his father in Milwaukee, who had made arrangements for his transportation. When Kecth arrived at Warsaw he was conducted to agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway to Antwerp. Makes Long 'Voyage Alone. There he was given a ticket almost as long as himself which would carry him through to his destination. Crossing to England he sailed on the "Metagema," be- ing, from the time he left Warsaw, under the care of the Canadian Pacific. The direct mileage from Mil- waukee to Uscilug is not by any means the full mileage of his travels. The ship's officers estimate that he ran at least twenty miles a day over the vessel, and the port officials had an anxious time when he made sur- reptitious peregrinations in search of someone who spoke his own tongue. He was glad. of course, to meet his father, but what an adventure it is to travel tar and alone 1 Just a Comparisons •f 3 �� s•� gas ..Lh:•. ••. !- -. ., :i rl..

It shows tilts "Sampson," first locomo- tive in America which was first used at Albion mines. in 1839, and one of the new Pacific type locomotives which have been placed in commission by the Canadian Pacific Railway on all main lines, and which are chiefly responsible for this company's "on time" feature of service. The Canadian Pacific Railway have now definitely adopted this design for their heavy main line service, as representing the most desirable and effie clent locomotive for economy and reliability of service, as this "particular' design reduces to,_a minimum, :con- sistent with capacity, the number' of 'moving parts which is essential for reliability of service under the most exacting and severe conditions. The capacity and weight of these locomotives rank them among the biggest of their type In the world, and the largest of this design in operation in Canada. The haulage capacity of the 2300 series is 42,600 lbs., which is obtained with 200 pounds boiler pressure, cylinders 25 inches in diameter, 30 inch stroke and with driving wheels 75 inches in diameter.- The weight on the three pairs of drivers of engine is 180,000 pounds and the total weight of the engine and tender in working con- dition is 495,000 pounds, the tender having a capacity of 8,000 gallons of water and 14 tons of coal. The design of these locomotives was given very careful study, a trial order of engines constructed in 1919 having been made, with tests under all Canadian conditions, which fully justified all expectations for reliability and economy of operation. The boiler has been carefully proportioned and the inter -relation of grate area, fire box volume, heat absorption capacity of different lengths of tube and gas areas more care- tully thought out than is usual in most designs, which, coupled together with an extremely accurate distribu- tion of steam -by an improvedtype of. Walschaert valve gear, has given exceptional economy for a locomotive' of this :;ze ` '`" ' 4 1 1 ai 4
